Homoeopathic treatment for multiple sclerosis

I am a dental surgeon. I have read your articles
in ‘Homoeopathy for All’ magazine and hence I have approached you
for your expert advice.

Case Report: My daughter-in-law aged 23 years developed sudden
blurring of vision in one eye. Ophthalmic tests and scan revealed that
she had optic Neuritis and the condition was diagnosed as a demyelinating
disease of the nervous system called multiple sclerosis.

She was referred to a neurologist for admission IV steroids and supportive medicines were given and she was discharged after a few days. She is recovering now after medication prescribed on discharge.

The neurologist says that in multiple sclerosis, a relapse can take
place at any time and can affect any other part. Recovery again after
each attack may be partial or complete.

Doctor, Is there a cure for Multiple sclerosis in homoeopathy? Can I
start her on homoeopathy medicine, and if yes how long will have to
take the medicine?

Can homoeopathy medicine prevent relapse or can the person remain symptom
free for a long time? Is there any medicine to strengthen the Immune
system? I will be extremely thankful to you if you can send me a reply
to my questions.

I know homoeopathy is very safe and has no side effects and if there
is a cure for multiple sclerosis then I will start her on treatment
immediately.

Thanking you very much.- Dr. Ashok Kumar Menda, September 2005

Dr. R.K. Manchanda responds
The natural course of Multiple Sclerosis has remissions and relapses
with a residual neurological deficit. Homoeopathic medicine in such
cases can help in achieving the remission and delaying the relapses.
Neurological deficit may also improve considerably. You are advised
to consult the nearest homoeopath for constitutional treatment with
close monitoring. Wish you all the best.
